87bronco full size "CLUNCK"
PLEASE HELP. MY 1987 BRONCO HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND OVERDRIVE. WHEN REDUCING SPEED FROM 45 MILES/HR. DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH IT STARTS CLUNKING 3 OR 4 TIMES THEN SHIFTS TO 3RD GEAR. WHEN I HAVE IT MANUALLY IN 3RD GEAR, I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN I AM IN OVERDRIVE AND SLOWING DOWN WHEN I APPLY BRAKES SLOWLY. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AND THEY CLAIM ITS NOT FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM WAS THERE BEFORE I OVERHAULED THE TRANSMISSION AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HELP. THANKS!

Sounds like the torque converter clutch is not disengaging. Sorry - you'll have to either pull the motor or drop the transmission/tranfer case to get it replaced... the transmission shop should have diagnosed that during the test drive, it's a common enough problem.
You're looking at $400 or so for a new one, plus labor.
Good luck.
